Want an iPhone? Sell a Kidney
China's government-run Xinhua News Agency has reported that 5 people in southern China have been charged with intentional injury in the case of a Chinese 17 year-old who sold a kidney so he could buy an iPhone and an iPad.
The five people in question included a surgeon who removed the kidney from the teenager in April last year. The boy, identified only by his surname Wang, now suffers from renal deficiency.
One of the defendants reportedly received about 220,000 yuan (about $35,000) to arrange the transplant. He paid Wang 22,000 yuan for the organ and split the rest with the surgeon, the three other defendants and other medical staff.
Wang used the money to purchase an iPhone 4 and iPad 2, and when asked by his mother where he got the money, admitted selling a kidney. Apple products are hugely popular in China, but are priced beyond the reach of many Chinese. IPhones start at 3,988 yuan ($633), and iPads begin at 2,988 yuan ($474).
The report did not say who received and paid for the kidney.
